Problem with threads when you have someone on ignore that it just becomes losts of posts saying 'This persons on ignore', then someone else quoting it and retorting, so you either get the full argument anyway, or just half. Either way you get a screen full of **** posts (Not just the footie thread, have a few posters on the old **** off list)

I agree, but if everyone just ignores them, then most of that problem goes away, which is what I and Brumbers are advocating

Been on it for a while tbh. Got a bit sick of the bull**** about the city I've lived in all my life, then being told I know nothing about it, though have relented occasionally to see whats going on, because there usually were one or two decent posts in there before.

I do sort of agree, actually. It's not the ideal solution, but with certain posters you know you aren't going to be able to get a reasonable debate out of them and more or less what they're going to say anyway, so it's no real loss.

Feel sorry for noobs at the moment because we have quite a few members who're essentially just long-term trolls.

Having just seen the thread in question, I do have some sympathy towards sledger's point of view.

I would like to add though, that the animosity shown between sledger and Pratters of late is pretty ****ty too though, and completely unnecessary from both sides. Unless I've somehow missed the 'comedy stylings' of this somewhere along the line? That's not as bad as the "Football Thread", but it has derailed the "Movie Thread" for a short time.

Fair enough, can take that on board, would like to add though, that I only give as good as I get, and desist when warned.

in the future where we're all social justice-y Cribb can ride down the street to pick up some raw milk from Coles on a motorised esky while smoking meth, firing an RPG into the air, and carrying the case of British-import Stella he's polygamously (and privately) married alongside a genderfluid Zambian businessperson and a coke-snorting 18-year-old cyborg girl.
